Hello All,
I received a student email asking if EBSCO removed duplicates when searching multiple databases. I replied yes and that I had always seen a banner at the top of my results indicating this. Just to check, I selected 5 databases and performed a general search, no banner.
Student also added that she searched the databases separately then tallied the results and it didn't add up to her original search. Is this due to differences in how each one searches or a result of duplicates?
Any information or ideas would be most welcome - her assignment is due Monday.
Thank you!
